Muckboots Revisited

[sixdogs]

There seem to be a number of different versions of Muck Boots. Which is a good version for light ag use? Also, what's the story with them mentioned earlier? I can't see to find anything.

Wife trains horses so she is out in the cold and works her clothing hard.

Mucks lasted a season. She would need toe warmers if it was below freezing.

Noble Outfitters are what she wears now. No need for toe warmers and we are on the second winter w the boots. I think they have a lifetime warranty too. Just make sure to buy from an authorized retailer.

Not sure what you are doing with your boots (haven't read all the way through the thread) but I have a pair of Bogs that are going on year ten. I keep saying that I would like a new pair, but mine literally look new still. I use them in the woods, around the yard, and of course all winter up here in New England. I swear by them, never at them. Warmest boots I have ever owned. Matched with Smart Wool socks (name brand only) I can be outside in single digits and my body gives out before my feet get cold. Have tried the Smart Wool with my other boots, and the Bogs with other socks, and I get cold at varying times. Together, perfection. I also walk the dog in them, so I find them more comfortable than sneakers, though heavier. Cushy, good grip, 100% waterproof up to my knees. Stretchy shaft so I can put pants in or out. Best boot I could ever recommend.

Gary: Lots of us have problems with the boots failing after about a year. The warranty is a year. I have had mine for several years, but don't use them that much. Wife would have them fail after a year continually. So switched brands. Looks like you are getting good bang for the buck!

Just buy them from LL Bean. Might be more but If you save the receipt they have a lifetime warranty. I trade in fishing waders every year or two for a new pair when they spring a leak.

I don't wear them as often as many here, but I've got a pair of LeChameau's that I bought at a yard sale probably 15 years ago. They are as waterproof today as when I first got them. Can't say I'd pay what a new pair costs, but they have been excellent and I may never need another pair.

Wow, that's $400 US. Maybe a lot is GST tax?

I'm on my third pair of mucks. They are crazy comfortable but are overpriced cheap China junk. They don't last at all. My current pair started leaking at seams almost right away. Would love to find a quality replacement not made in China. My lacrosse have out lasted the mucks 3 to 1 but the mucks slide on and off nice and quick for a quick trip to the barn. So they are basically over priced slippers. I grab the lacrosse for now when need to stay dry.

Not mucks, but an alternative I have started using. Amazon.com: Servus Comfort Technology 14" PVC Steel Toe Men's Work Boots, Black (18821): Home Improvement Super cheap, last well, have a steel toe and very warm with some thick wool socks in winter. There is a regular toe version as well that's more comfortable for long walks

My wife swears by her Noble Outfitters. They have various "weights" of insulation. She has the ones rated for very cold. Says her feet never get cold and the boots are comfortable.
